Sten Hagberg and Jörgen Hellman on kritisk etnografi - the Swedish Journal of Anthropology:
"In kritisk etnografi, we seek to situate and examine ethnography as historically grounded scholarly practice and reflect upon what it stands for today in its multifarious shapes and articulations. Yet, the discipline of anthropology is not the same as it was at the time of SSAG’s foundation; the continuity is institutional rather than thematic, structural rather than processual".

SWEDISH ANTHROPOLOGY?
Have you read Ulf Hannerz's interesting paper on Swedish Anthropology in
kritisk etnografi - Swedish Journal of Anthropology? If not, do so! As always, we are open access without any restrictions whatsoever.
Quoted from Hannerz's concluding remarks:
"By now, the main Swedish universities are clearly very different places from what they were a half-century ago: more open to the world, but also places with anthropology finding its place in a more open academic landscape, with more interactions between disciplines. With an academic career reform changing from a limited number of professorial chairs to promotion based on personal scholarly merit, the number of full professors of anthropology has grown considerably. Moreover, anthropologists have also recently held professorships in a number of interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary fields, such as gender studies, human ecology, rural development, peace and conflict studies, and Latin American studies. So much, in brief, for the good news. Now for some words of warning."
